Missed the deadline!!!

Missed the deadline!!!
I know this company has tons of rave reviews, but I gave Joseph all my information in FEBRUARY, and he did not complete my return in time. The IRS said in early October the deadlines stand, despite the shutdown. I'm now looking at how to file a delinquent FBAR without incurring a $5,000 penalty. Fortunately, as an expat, I do not have taxes to pay, so I will avoid paying extra there. I will have to find someone else to do my return, and file it late.

UPDATE: After I submitted this review, I received an angry email from Joseph Sherman, telling me the FBAR had been submitted on time, and demanding I remove the review immediately. When I asked for proof of submission, he provided an e-file confirmation notice dated October 15th. The file metadata show it was actually created on October 19th, four days after the deadline.

Next, I received an invoice, together with dire warnings as to what would happen if I did not pay immediately, for the FBAR and for the tax return.

I then asked Joseph for proof they had filed for a (non-automatic) extension. He provided a pdf of the extension request, dated October 10th. The file metadata show the pdf was created on October 21st, six days after the request submission deadline.

They finally produced the completed tax return on October 27th.

Reply from CPAs for Expats

Dear Russell,

We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to clarify. Your FBAR and tax filings were submitted on time — the confirmation file was generated from our system on October 19th but confirms an e-file date of October 15th, which was before the deadline. The extension PDF shows a later creation date only because it was exported from our internal document when you requested a PDF copy, not when it was originally filed.

We appreciate your feedback and remain focused on upholding the highest professional standards.

Best choice for US taxes

I have been working with Paul at CPA for Expats for over six years now and he is always so helpful, informative and responsive. Any question that I have, he answers with kindness and professionalism. His service alone makes me come back and use this same company for my taxes every year. Paul, you are very appreciated!

Great professional help from CPA's for Xpats

Ramona C. and Tyler Tyler C. have been extremely professional and have answered all our questions professionally and with patience - and in a very timely manner. On top of that they are both very friendly and a pleasure to communicate with. They have made a difficult process that we did not know how to handle move forward to completion in a manner that was a great help to us.

I appreciated how proactive the team…

I appreciated how proactive the team was at CPA's for Expats. I didn't have to chase them. The process was clear and not cumbersome.

I found 2 mistakes in the final tax return though so I think they need to focus more on detail. Luckily I found them and they were resolved quickly.
